When the MENA region is up for tender, and all that? I'm not sure they'd fancy going another round with the PL when they could just go and buy a French/German/Italian club without any hassle at all. Sports Direct United will be in the Championship then. The club will be half price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PIF were never buying us directly. It was always going to be done through a subsidiary. What the PL are looking for is who ultimately owns the subsidiary. PIF can restructure whatever way they want but as long as the Saudis are involved then the PL are going to come to the same conclusion i.e. that MBS calls that shots and will want to make him subject to the Directors Test. The only way it looks like this will change is if we see a change at the top of the PL or legal action by one of the involved parties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl 175 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 It's very petty but I would love to see the Premier league lose in court and have to pay substantial damages, if they couldn't afford it would the 20 members be liable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 17260 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) Masters appears to have told them that the PL have gone beyond the scope of the O & D test and apparently they're ok with this I get that they're limited to what they can do and getting a sit down with him is an acheivement but for fucks sakes it's there right in front of you lads they moved the goal posts because they didn't like the look of the buyers. The reasons are in a way irrelevent, they weren't going to approve it under any circumstances and the offer of mediation was a fuckin cowards way out https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/breaking-richard-masters-newcastle-takeover-18800928.amp?__twitter_impression=true Edited August 20, 2020 by PaddockLad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those answers do still not explain why the PL left it rather late to raise questions about the ownership in June. There were big law firms involved in drafting the terms of the sale agreement. I very much doubt that they would have set an expiry date in June without a completion of the test thought to be likely. The whole arbitration nonsense remains a cop out to derail the test. But thankfully they only did it to protect the club without any influence from outside (except of 17 weeks of stories of parties turning to the PL to block the takeover). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7027 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Also, the bit about no outside interference is a demonstrable lie. BEIN published their letter to the PL in the press ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 9775 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I would also know how Masters could state in front of parliament that he was hoping for the test to be "concluded shortly" if all that the PL was offering was some obscure arbitration before they could take the test to the next stages.., 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10857 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I don't think it was PSG's success that's spurring them into action. They saw we're signing Jeff Hendrick on a free and want to get in before he leads us to a domestic treble and our value goes through the roof. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, they’ll be like oh we meant we’re happy for it to be resurrected so we can do way more faffing about outside the remit of the O&D test, not that we’d look to compromise or approve it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
